Proficency with the tools on hand

Sort of an add-on to yesterday's post. It is important to be proficient with the tools that God has given you. Wether you are a supervisor or just a "cog in the machine". If you are a supervisor of 2 or 20,000 you need how to best position those under you to do their jobes effectively. You should known their strengths and weaknesses. Know what they are capable of and what they may fear to tread. If you work solo you still have tools at hand. If it's a hammer or a word processor. You should take the time to learn the tool. Learn how to use it, what it is capable of. And always be open to new ways of doing things. To learn how to do whatever we do effeciently and effectively not only builds self confidence it is good stewardship. Verse for today: Colossians 3:12-17, ESV Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
